The video gives an insight into the energetic events that transfer energy and plasma into the solar corona that ultimately drives the solar wind.

The presence of manganese oxide on Mars has positive implications in the search for life beyond Earth.

Einstein Probe, which is the new Chinese–European X-ray mission, has revealed its first widescreen views of the universe.

The molecular gas ejected by a dying star within the Southern Ring Nebula will one day be recycled into a new generation of stars and planets.

The hypothetical ninth planet may be slingshotting Oort Cloud objects onto orbits that come closer to the sun than Neptune does.

The great planetary instability coincides with the collision that formed Earth's moon — could the two events be linked?

Earth's ancient magnetic field appears to have had a strength similar to what we see today, and it may have protected ancient life from harmful cosmic radiation.

A detailed analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite has found evidence that its parent asteroid was altered by water before being smashed apart multiple times.

To test its autonomous software, the JUICE mission team pretended to fly the spacecraft past Jupiter's fourth moon, and passed the exam with flying colors.

A rare massive star possessing a magnetic field could have produced its dynamo after merging with another star.

More evolved galaxies demonstrate a greater range of stellar motions compared to the orderly, circular orbits of stars like our sun in the Milky Way.

The stars of a possible ultra-faint dwarf galaxy, known as UMa3/U1, could be held in place by the gravitational glue of dark matter.

The future European Space Agency mission could include an orbiting spacecraft as well as a lander, both of which would sample ocean material in Enceladus' plumes.

A quasar over three billion light-years away was found to be rather gentle on its host galaxy, allowing its black hole to keep growing.

The European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin Mars rover now has a detailed map with which to help find its way around the Red Planet when it lands sometime in the next decade.

A single icy moon grain could host tiny microbes or cellular remnants of life. If so, NASA's Europa Clipper may one day be able to find life near Jupiter.

The concept for a flying, wing-heavy drone called MAGGIE could one day show us an entirely new perspective on Mars.

When NASA's DART spacecraft crashed into the small asteroid Dimorphos in September of 2022, the impact's energy changed the asteroid’s trajectory and substantially altered its shape.

Nearly 1.3 million quasars are included in a vast cosmic map, with the most distant having existed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang.

The Hubble Space Telescope's latest look at Jupiter finds writhing storms and a shrinking Great Red Spot.

The CADRE rovers, destined for the next Intuitive Machines mission to the moon, are able to work together thanks to cooperative software.

The Vela supernova remnant looks breathtaking in this image from the powerful DECam, revealing intricacies in debris that resulted from the destruction of a massive star 11,000 years ago.

The discovery of the first exoplanets was a watershed moment for both science and science fiction, which has attempted to keep pace with scientific knowledge of other worlds.

The JWST's findings further scientists' conundrum of having different measurements of the expansion of the universe, which may require new physics to resolve.

The astrolabe dates from 11th-century Spain and has origins that are Islamic, Jewish and Christian.
